"But in the end, it's the history, stupid. If you can't document it, forget about it. And no amount of 'tomfoolery' can explain away conduct that in the end makes history (and living historians) look stupid and wrong. "

Would love to do both, but the unit is committed to GAC, and I don't have the cash or vacation days to do both.

I did just learn that BGA still dosn't have permits as of yet, and the last application for permits was rejected due to logistical issues. Anyone heard about this???

The permits have not been 'rejected'. The BGA received a punch list of items to be corrected or documented more fully.

Here's an example of the detail: I'm 'Civilian Governor' for the BGA. As such, I've got an assigned area of the site for separate civilian-only camping (mixed military civilian camps are elsewhere, as well as soldiers only camping)

That assigned area is lovely-a combination of rolling field and open woods for shade. Down at the lower end of that parcel is a wet weather creek. Now, I had no intention of camping anybody right on that drainage creek, I've got plenty of room upland, common sense, and a drawer full of Girl Scout badges that indicate I learned something about field craft around 50 years ago.

But that creek is in the boundary of my camping parcel. I'm not using it, but we have to say that, and indicate it as off limits on the map.

Simple stuff really. Dot the i's and cross the t's. Mark Way and KC Meadows are doing an excellent job of doing just that.

Awesome. Thanks for the update and clarification. That was being used to argue against a commitment by a few I know. Looking forward to hearing more positive news.
